About Me
I am a researcher specializing in autonomous systems, SLAM, and risk-aware navigation for robots in complex terrains. My work spans developing algorithms for robust perception and navigation. Currently, I am a Ph.D. student at the University at Buffalo, working in the Distributed Robotics and Networked Embedded Sensing (DRONES) Lab under Prof. Karthik Dantu.
My research focuses on enabling legged robots to navigate challenging environments through innovative approaches in visual perception and dynamic motion planning. I'm passionate about creating robotic systems that can operate autonomously in real-world scenarios.
My approach combines theoretical foundations with practical implementations, bridging the gap between academic research and real-world applications. I actively collaborate with industry partners to deploy my research in challenging environments.
